Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for recycling a fuel, a product obtainable according to the method according to the invention, use of the product and a device for producing a mixture for use in the method according to the invention.
  • the mixture formation of air and liquid fuels is more complex to implement than with gaseous fuels.
  • the systems work with one Atomization of the liquid and / or a thermal treatment that leads to partial or complete evaporation in air or exhaust gas.
  • Novel burner concepts for liquid fuels place very high demands on the mixture formation of fuel and air.
  • premixing concepts that implement quasi-homogeneous fuel-air mixture preparation.
  • the fuel is heated under pressure to 100 ° C. to 800 ° C. and injected into a mixing room. Due to the large pressure drop at the valve outlet, very small colloid-dispersed drops are generated compared to conventional pressure atomization, which have a certain stability due to the aggregation-inhibiting mechanisms.
  • the aerosol burner from Schilling (1997), an oil mist is generated in which heated air flows through an oil-sintered metal layer.
  • the liquid fuel is sprayed into the heated air stream using conventional pressure atomization injected and evaporated.
  • process parameters temperature, amount of air, amount of flue gas
  • a partial chemical conversion of the oil can be achieved.
  • the fuel can also be introduced into a preheated air flow and can be completely evaporated there if further heat is added. Theoretically, the temperatures required for this lead to self-ignition of the mixture. When gases such as methane (natural gas) are mixed, this risk is far less ( Figure 1).
  • the induction time described therefore represents an ignition delay. This depends on the temperature and the pressure of the mixture. So far, the results of the investigation have mainly been available under boundary conditions from the field of gas turbines and engine combustion, i.e. at elevated pressures and high temperatures. The determination of the ignition delay time is heavily dependent on the test conditions, especially the test equipment. The values given in the literature (Lefebvre, 1982; Pitsch, 1995; Spaadccini, 1982) differ accordingly. Lefebvre has for them Determination of the ignition delay times uses a tubular reactor in which the fuel injection takes place in a heated air stream and the ignition delay time is equal to the induction time until the start of the reaction (FIG. 2).
  • the technical problem underlying the invention is to overcome the disadvantages mentioned in the prior art.
  • This essentially means the mixture formation of liquid fuel and oxidizer.
  • Mixture formation is usually characterized by the superimposition of the effects of mixing, evaporation and high-temperature oxidation, which can only be separated in time and space by the ignition delay time.
  • the cold flame is also used specifically to positively influence material properties.
  • the technical problem is solved by a method for recycling a fuel that has an initial boiling temperature or predominantly an initial boiling temperature range at 1 bar between 231 K and 830 K, which is characterized by the following features:
  • the fuel is at a pressure p ⁇ 1 bar with at least one oxidizer preheated to 520 K to 880 K or at lower pressure with a lowering of the temperature range and a molar C / O- Ratio between 1: 0.14 to 1:25 brought into contact in a reaction space in such a way that exothermic prereactions in the form of a cold flame are initiated which, even with a homogeneous mixture of fuel and oxidizer, bring about only a partial conversion of the fuel and the oxidizer, and
  • step (b) by setting a technically relevant dwell time t v , the mixture produced in step a) into the reaction space, of t> 25 ms at p l l bar and dwell times which decrease with increasing pressure under otherwise identical conditions, and one limited heat removal from the reaction zone via an inert gas flow with a ratio of the heat capacity flow of the oxidizer M • c p to the product of the fuel mass flow M b and the heating value H u , which in the adiabatic reaction space M -c p / M b ⁇ H u > 2 x 10 '4 K '1 , and / or via the reactor wall with a heat flow density q of q ⁇ 85 kW / rn ⁇ a kinetic reaction inhibition of the further reaction of the oxidizable mixture formed during the cold flame occurs, thereby preventing the latter from auto-igniting, in particular for a predictable time .
  • the state parameters are understood in particular to mean the total pressure, the partial pressures of the starting materials, in particular of oxidizer and fuel, and the starting temperatures of the starting materials.
  • the process parameters include the geometrical data of the apparatus, the residence time, the wall heat flows coupled in or out via the apparatus, and the recirculation ratio from the recirculated product stream into the reaction zone to the feed stream used.
  • the residence time t v is preferably greater than 500 ms at p ⁇ 1 bar.
  • the dwell time describes the time that the mixture formed in the cold flame remains in the respective reaction space.
  • the residence time is determined by dividing the reactor volume V by the volume flow of the mixture V zxx t v - V / V. With the method according to the invention, the residence time of the mixture in the reaction space can be longer than the ignition delay time determined according to the Lefebvre method.
  • the method according to the invention uses the phenomenon of the cold flame. While the cold flame has been described in the prior art as a disadvantage that must be avoided, the phenomenon is now used in a targeted manner in the method according to the invention.
  • the method according to the invention With the method according to the invention, important processes that can currently only be operated on the basis of gases (especially natural gas) can be expanded to include liquid fuels.
  • the method according to the invention thus converts the liquid fuel phase into a gaseous phase, for example when using heating oil EL.
  • the use of a homogeneous fuel gas-air mixture enables, for example, the pollutant and noise emissions from combustion to be significantly reduced and more compact boiler systems to be used.
  • the cold flames are exothermic reactions of the liquid fuel in particular in the presence of an oxidizer, which lead to a spontaneous temperature increase of up to 180 K.
  • endothermic reactions also take place in addition to the exothermic reactions.
  • the gross reaction is exothermic.
  • Similar temperature increases can also be achieved by partial oxidation of the fuel by reducing the amount of air accordingly.
  • the difference to the cold flame reaction is among other things rem in that only a partial conversion of the oxidizer and fuel takes place in the cold flame.
  • the fuel supplied is only partially implemented, since only a limited amount of the oxidizer is present.
  • the oxidizer supplied is completely consumed in the reaction.
  • the cold flame forms a mixture of ketones, aldehydes and other compounds.
  • a defined temperature or range of the oxidizer is required to initiate the chemical reactions of the cold flame for the first time. This temperature is set as the initiation temperature. Setting data for the initiation temperature for heating oil EL are shown in FIG. 3. After initiating the cold flame, however, the operating temperature is defined. The operating temperature is understood to be the temperature which ensures stable operation of the cold flame. In practice, the range between the minimum and maximum temperature for operating the cold flame is larger than for initiating it.
  • the fuels used are essentially hydrocarbons, mixtures of hydrocarbons with non-hydrocarbons, in the form of emulsions and / or suspensions with liquids which are essentially insoluble in hydrocarbons, in particular water in a mixture with ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and / or alkanols, in particular C, -C 4 - Alkanols in question.
  • the oxidizer is a substance or a mixture of substances that has a higher chemical oxidation potential than the liquid fuel in particular.
  • Oxygen, ozone, air, exhaust gases from superstoichiometric combustion, an oxygen-containing compound such as peroxides are preferably used Compound, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides (N y O or NO x ) or mixtures thereof are used.
  • the temperature of 480 ° C appears to be a limit value for heating oil EL-air mixtures, because the further increase in air temperature before fuel atomization did not increase the mixture temperature. This temperature can therefore be regarded as the equilibrium temperature for the described oxidation reaction of the cold flames. At an air temperature above 480 ° C, the temperature rise of the mixture is only very small. Exothermic reactions in the form of the cold flames no longer seem to take place under the selected boundary conditions. If the air temperature is raised above 540 ° C, the mixture begins to auto-ignite, which is subject to ignition delay (see also Fig. 6).
  • the temperature profile of the cold flame along the flow path as a function of the starting temperature is shown in FIG. 4.
  • the end temperature of the cold flame is largely independent of the start temperature.
  • the initial drop in temperature before the start of the cold flame results from the enthalpy of vaporization of the liquid fuel.
  • the effects of evaporation and mixing with the oxidizer are superimposed.
  • both the injection of the liquid fuel into the air flow and the addition of pre-evaporated fuel have been investigated. It was found that the final temperatures of the cold flames reach similar values regardless of the type of fuel added.
  • the influence of the air ratio on the method according to the invention is of interest.
  • the increase in the air ratio hardly leads to changes in the final temperature of the mixture after the fuel supply.
  • a higher air ratio represents an increased ballast mass flow, which absorbs more heat when the temperature is increased by the method according to the invention.
  • 5 shows the phenomena which occur as a function of the starting conditions.
  • the square dots represent settings at the beginning of the fuel supply, which lead to the formation of a cold flame.
  • the final temperature is between 470 ° C and 480 ° C.
  • Ignition delay times of over one second can be expected below 550 ° C.
  • the course of the ignition delay time suggests a limit temperature in the technically interesting time range. Ignition can be reliably ruled out below this temperature. This makes it possible to generate a homogeneous mixture of fuel, oxidizer and cold flame products in a mixing chamber and to transport them safely.
  • FIGS. 3 to 7 show a device which is particularly suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • oxidator 2 generally means the substances which have a higher oxidation potential than fuel 1. In the usual applications, this is air or molecular oxygen, but also recycled gases from a stoichiometric combustion.
